Two people could be considered to have betrayed Ned Kelly's gang.
Aaron Sherritt was a friend of the Kelly gang, especially Joe Byrne and his family. When the gang became "wanted" after they murdered three policemen at Stringybark Creek in October 1878, Sherritt became an informant for the police, selling out for money. Sherritt was later murdered by Joe Byrne for his action.
After Sherritt was murdered, the Kelly gang anticipated that a large number of police would travel by train to nearby Glenrowan, so they sought the help of the townspeople to lift the train tracks to derail the train. When the townsfolk would not help, they were rounded up and held hostage at the Glenrowan Hotel. After many hours of the siege, some of the trusted hostages were released. Schoolteacher Thomas Curnow, one of those released, ran ahead to warn the police on the train when he heard it approaching, and thus averted a derailment. However, Curnow is not considered to be a traitor, as his actions saved many lives.
